The FBI says it is "addressing" the photo dump, Apple says it is "actively investigating" reports that its iCloud service was breached, the Los Angeles Times reports—and Reddit users are also on the case.

Redditors have used clues in a screenshot to identify 27-year-old Georgia man Bryan Hamade as the culprit who leaked the photos of celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton to 4chan, but he insists he is "just an idiot" who was trying to "pull one over" on 4chan users to make bitcoins.
